Knížka má tempo asijských filmů a je hodně pocitová. Člověk s ní spíš stráví nějaký čas, pokud ji chce pořádně nasáknout. Rozhodně to není čtení na dva večery. Velmi mě bavily vietnamské reálie a téma opouštění vlastního národa.

Více o knize
"Brilliant, heartbreaking, tender, and highly original - poet Ocean Vuong's debut novel is a sweeping and shattering portrait of a family, and a testament to the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born--a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam--and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity"--
